Just kidding, but this is freaking awesome!
I can't begin to express how cool it is to be able to approach a pool room and ask them to help sponsor us, and they say yes immediately.
It's not just that they said yes, it's that we had 4 other pool rooms that wanted to sponsor us, too, and it felt wonderful to realize our team was that good and therefore could even ask for sponsorship.
We only asked for our entry fee to be paid but it was still super cool that Carl from Diamond Jim's said yes. Last year, he bought our shirts, this year was a step up and he paid our entry.
Last year my team won* and we presented Carl with a gift - a large framed photo of the team for Diamond Jim's.
This year, Carl presented US with a gift! What a nice surprise!

* Because we are in the Open division, we had to divide our team up after we won last year. 2 members started their own team, and Lisa Ellison and I started a new one, also (Born Ready) with Nina Stillwell, Maria Rodriguez, and Tracie Voelkering.
